Moments after qualifying for the team, AA and UB finals, Aliya gave a short interview to Elena Vaitsekhovskaya for Sports Express. The accompanying pictures tell as much as the words.
Asked about her fall from beam, Aliya said, 'I have forgotten about it already. There is no point in remembering it.'
'It was incredibly hard to get back to training; I can only just bear it. Every morning, I wake up with the same thought, wanting it all to be over as quickly as possible,' said Aliya.
Asked about her bars performance, where she scored the highest of all to date, Aliya said, 'Can I tell you a secret? It was me who did it!'
